UNSPSC 83112603: International access lines

UNSPSC 83112603 International access lines is a Commodity code covering fiber-based and wireless broadband connectivity services that state and local governments procure to connect remote or isolated facilities to network infrastructure. Recent opportunities show agencies buying Metro Ethernet transport, managed broadband for park operations, wireline ethernet, fixed wireless services, and VoIP implementation—substantially broader than the code's nominal scope and spanning terrestrial, satellite, and hybrid connectivity solutions for operational networks rather than traditional international telecommunications access.

State departments, counties, cities, school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts all solicit under this code, with standout recent activity from Washington state agencies (WaTech), Illinois Department of Information Technology, and Florida counties. The Illinois Department of Information Technology posted an RFQ for fiber-based Metro Ethernet to connect the Department of Transportation's Hardin Bridge location to an Illinois Century Network POP site, due July 30, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $45,000 and a requirement for 100 MB bandwidth delivery by October 31, 2026. San Mateo County Parks Department issued an RFP for managed broadband connectivity services to support remote field operations across geographically isolated park locations, due July 3, 2026, with a one-year initial term and four optional one-year extensions, evaluating proposals on pricing (27.8%), project approach (34.4%), and firm qualifications (27.8%). Orange County Transportation Authority posted an IFB for maintenance support services covering mobile radio and mobile data terminal systems across a 218-bus paratransit fleet, due July 27, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $200,000 for the one-year initial term commencing September 1, 2026, and Davis-Bacon prevailing wages applying. Geographic activity concentrates in Illinois, California, Florida, Texas, Washington, and Mississippi, with recent opportunities also in Wisconsin, Georgia, Colorado, and Kansas. The code shows active procurement across multiple service types and issuing bodies, indicating sustained demand for last-mile connectivity, network infrastructure, and telecommunications system support.
